If you have run out of Shardlakes, Andrew Taylor's Marwood story is a good alternative. Strong on period detail, this time of Restoration London, it centres on murder and Court intrigue with Charles II, the Dukes of York, Clarendon and Buckingham heavily involved. There is plenty of action and menace leavened with love and lust - an entertaining mixture which keeps you reading.
